Why do non human creatures die?
I'm looking for a faith based answer here so trolls need not apply.
Why do non humans die? Death is a direct result of sin, right? Animals for example were never tested for obedience yet die the same way humans do. Plants have no brain to make decisions so they cannot possibly defy God or commit sins.
Why do other beings die when they have not committed a sin?

Non human creatures die for the very same reasons humans do - after all we are no different from them.
It's all down to replication errors in our genes that come about as we age basically.
It's got precisely zero to do with sin.
You are partially correct but you missed the Truth in Genesis. Adam was given the responsibility for the Whole world when he sinned he not only plunged the Whole of Humanity into sin but the Whole of God's Creation on this earth. Adam brought death to the Whole world which is why God will remake the Whole world when He returns after sending Satan to hell for a thousand years.
Spiritual death is the result of sin. Biological death certainly isn't. Tyrannosaurus and 80-foot long sharks were tearing their prey to shreds many millions of years before humans existed. No-one who looks at the teeth of either of these animals could possibly think they ate plants. They were intelligently designed as killing machines.
Because that's the way it is. God didn't create us to die but after Adam and Eve sinned, we begin to die.Sin is the reason why every living things has to die.
Every living thing conforms to a biological imperative, it grows.
As a consequence of growth and metabolism genetic coding errors add up and toxic compounds eventually bring down the organism.
The death you speak of is the spiritual death of the soul not the body.
Sin is only subjective. Animals are smarter than human beings, as they don't require a religion to rule their lives.
When Adam sinned, all of creation fell under the curse of sin, even the very planets and stars.
Sin leads to SPIRITUAL death.
My children grasped the difference by age 11.
What is your problem?
Life ends, because death is inevitable, not eternal. We die because it's part of nature.
other beings die so we can treasure our life.. so when we hear a story of how someone died that it brings tears to our eyes.. so we can learn to treasure our own life and so when death comes.. we r ready to b judged
